  • the importance level determiner 80 may weight outgoing communications more heavily than incoming communications. For example, a user may tend to initiate contact with user contacts of higher importance to the user.
  • the importance level determiner 80 may equally weight incoming and outgoing communications or weight incoming communications more heavily.

By way of example, the user may classify or otherwise describe the user contacts as relatives, friends, business associates, etcetera. In other embodiments the user may provide greater details with respect to his or her relationship to the user contacts. For example, a contact may be described as the user's father, or boss.

For example, the importance level determiner 80 may review communications between the user and the user contacts and look for keywords. In some embodiments the importance level determiner 80 may review salutations and valedictions appearing in messages. Thereby, for example, if the valediction "Love, Mom" appears in one of the user's communications to a user contact, the importance level determiner 80 may determine that this user contact should have a high importance level.
  • the importance level determiner 80 may determine that groups of user contacts are of importance.
  • the groups of user contacts may be user defined and/or the groups may be determined, for example, by reviewing communications as discussed above. Thereby, for example, the importance level determiner 80 may determine that communications from a soccer team which the user is a part of are important before an upcoming soccer game which is scheduled.
  • the importance level determiner 80 may determine the importance level based in part on a received user input and based in part on a calculated importance level that may be, for example, calculated using the above-described methods. For example, the user may directly specify the importance level of some user contacts, and the importance level determiner 80 may calculate the importance level for the other user contacts. By way of further example, when the user indicates that a particular user contact is of importance, and this user contact is part of a group of user contacts, the importance level determiner 80 may determine that other user contacts in the group are of importance. Also, in some embodiments the importance level determiner 80 may allow the user to override a calculated importance level for a user contact.
  • the user contact may not be important to the user.
  • the emails may relate to daily office roles describing who is out of the office, which may be of little importance to the user.
  • the importance level determiner 80 may allow the user to override determined importance levels in some embodiments.
  • the importance level determiner 80 may learn based on whether the user selects content segments relating to the user contact which is determined to be of importance. For example, if the content segments relating to the user contact which the importance level determiner 80 determines to be importance are not selected or are otherwise ignored multiple times, the importance level determiner may then determine that the user contact is of a lower level of importance than previously calculated. Thereby, the importance level determiner 80 may adjust the importance levels based on how the user responds to the determined importance levels.
  • the importance level determiner 80 may employ a variety of methods to determine the importance level for the user contacts such as those embodiments described above as well as various other methods that are not described herein. Further, in some embodiments the method by which the importance level determiner 80 determines the importance levels may be user selectable. Thereby, for example, the user may select the method that he or she believes may be more likely to most accurately determine the importance level he or she associates with each of the user contacts.
  • the importance level determiner 80 may determine the importance level for each user contact or other data segment based on one or more contextual characteristics of the user, a data segment (e.g. a user contact), and/or the apparatus 50.

  • the importance levels for user contacts may change over time as the contextual characteristics change.
  • Information relating to the location of the user may, for example, be provided by a GPS module 84, though location information may additionally or alternatively be provided through other means such as triangulation using cell phone towers.
  • the processor 70 or other circuitry may be embodied as, include or otherwise control the GPS module 84.
  • the contextual characteristic determiner 82 may determine that the user is presently near a user contact based on stored user contact information or shared location information.
  • the importance level determiner 80 may determine that the user contact has a high importance level at that point in time based on proximity. For example, if the user receives a call from a friend while the user happens to be near the friend, the user may be more inclined to receive the call because of the possibility for meeting in person with the friend.
  • the contextual characteristic determiner 82 may determine when the user is sleeping or working or determine contextual characteristics indicative of these activities and provide this information to the importance level determiner 80. For example, the contextual characteristic determiner 82 may determine that the user is home at night based on time and location information. These contextual characteristics may then be used by the importance level determiner 80 to determine the importance level of the user contacts given these contextual characteristics. For example, if in previous circumstances with similar determined contextual characteristics the user has only answered phone calls or responded to messages from certain ones or types of the user contacts, then the importance level determiner 80 may determine that those user contacts have higher importance levels than the other user contacts.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil qui peut comprendre un gestionnaire de données conçu pour gérer des contacts d'utilisateur ou d'autres segments de données. L'appareil peut en outre comprendre un dispositif de détermination de niveau d'importance conçu pour déterminer un niveau d'importance pour chacun des contacts d'utilisateur ou autres segments de données. Le niveau d'importance peut être basé sur une caractéristique contextuelle et, par conséquent, l'appareil peut comprendre un dispositif de détermination de caractéristique contextuelle. En outre, l'appareil peut comprendre un adaptateur de segment de contenu conçu pour l'adaptation d'un segment de contenu se rapportant à l'un des contacts d'utilisateur ou autres segments de données sur la base du niveau d'importance. L'adaptateur de segment de contenu peut par exemple sélectionner la taille, la couleur et/ou la position des segments de contenu. Des segments de contenu peuvent comprendre des avatars, des messages et des informations de contact dans certaines variations.
